Bio and Background |
I am Lydia Awuor Onyango and I am 34 years old.
I’m Kenyan citizen by birth, born in a small village called Renja.
I’m the first born in a family of four.
I lost my mother when I was five years old and I didn’t know my biological father until in 2020 September.
I grew up in the hands of my grandmother who later on passed away.
I did not have any one to take to school. When i was 12 years i decided to take myself and my sister to school.
It was not easy going to school without a pencil, a book and even a bag. It became a struggle all through my primary education.
When I finished my primary education, the well wishers got in and helped me through my secondary school.
This really touched my heart and made me have a dream to one day start a nonprofit school to support orphans, disadvantaged and less fortunate in my community.
I am happy today to be the co- founder of Happy Gardens community organization school which supports such children just as I was.

I shall continue to do so. I will extend to those undeserved communities, who are willing to save others.

In advance I’m promoting Force for Health® activities with others such as leaders from the education, politics, and religion, as well as the school teachers, to promote the growth of health and learning.
We will focus our teaching on creating self sustaining efforts to produce even more vibrant communities of health for all of the families here, in Kenya, starting with Nairobi.
